Title: Sound files are opended by Music Player even though Rhythmbox is preffered application Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in OEM Priority Project oneiric series: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With the default install off Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) the sound files are set to open with Movie Player by default (in Nautilus) even though in System/Preferences/Preferred Application/Multimedia the Multimedia Player is set to Rythmbox Music Player (also by default). How to reproduce this bug: 1 Make default install of Ubuntu 9.10 2 open the examples that ship with Ubuntu (in Nautilus) 3 click on the ogg sound file (e.g. Aesop's Fables,_Volume_1...spx) (in Nautilus) Result: Movie Player opens and plays the file. 4 Try to set the preferred Application for Multimedia to Rythmbox Music Player (System/Preferences/Preferred Application/Multimedia) Result: Rythmbox Music Play is already set by default. This is somewhat surprising. :-) Expected result: a) use a Music Player to play music by default (and not a Video Player - this is perhaps just a matter of naming) b) Nautilus should respect the setting in Preferred Applications (default in Nautilus should always be equal to the setting in Preferred Applications) To summarize: The setting in Preferred Applications do not seem to have any affect on the default application with which Nautilus opens a file and there is no hint if there are additional steps necessary in order make Nautilus respect the users choice for the default (preferred) application.
